EEIYDROGENATED-OIL COMPOSITION.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 20, 1918.

No Drawing. Continuation of application filed January 6,1813, Serial No. 740,416. This application flied April 21, 1917. Serial No. 168,738.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CARLETON E .ms, a citizen of the United States, residin at Montclair, in the county of Essex and tate of New Jersey, have invented certain new and uesful Improvements in Hydrogenated- 740,416, renewed August 1, 1916, Serial No.

In preparing my composition forming the subject matterof the present invention, for example, I catalytically hydrogenate an oil,

such as a semi-drying fatty oil of the nature of cottonseed oil or a mixture of this with corn oil in the manner known to the art, until the iodin number of the mixture is reduced to say approximately 33. I then mix intimately, for example, 10 parts of this hydrogenated oil with a suitable finely comininuted material, for example, talc 4 parts or in this specific instance 40% of the weight of the hydrogenated oil. -It is noted, however, that the present invention is not re--' stricted to the employment of talc as the filling material, other suitable fillers or carriers or extending material, such as various materials ground to a very fine or impalpable powder or in a comminuted state being suitable, which material is, for many purposes, preferably free from itty or hard particles, and .isreferably o e, flour-like texture. Materia having a smooth, substantially unctuous feel is preferred. 1

The compositionthus produced is susceptible of algreat variety of uses and modi cations, one form being suitable for use as a phonograph record composition or as an ingredient thereof.

Amon the mineral fillers which may be emplo ed the li e, all in a suitably commfinuted or powdered or'impalpable condition; The in vention is not however limited to the use of mineral fillers.

in my application above referred to,

ingredient of the composition.

are barytes, terra alba, clay and' waxes, resins, metallic soaps, pitches and other or organic plastic substances may also be added if desired, in suitable quantities.

While I have mentioned a mixture of cottonseed and corn oils to be hydrogenated,

the invention is by no means restricted to these specific oils; other oils, either animal, fish or vegetable (fatty oils), especially the semi-drying oils, may be employed, includin sperm, menhaden, cod, cod liver, porgy, -w ale, almond, rape, castor, sesame, olive,

so bean, linseed, Chinese wood and mustard oll also tallow, lard and other greases and oils. The invention also contemplates the employment of various mixtures of these oils, in addition to the specific mixture above specified, for example, castor and whale, castor and cottonseed or equivalent mixtures. If desired, the ingredients may be admixed by the aid of heat, as by' melting the fatty material to enable the suitable, incorporation of the solid non-fatty material. Thus, for instance, the fatty material is melted into contact with the tale, or other desired omminuted material employed, and solidi-'80 fied therewith. Hydrogenation ispreferabIy carried to a point where the iodin number of the oil or oil mixture is reduced well b low 50, or even to an iodin number of 25 or" less. This is desirable because it tends to free the oil from any material amounts of components having siccative or dryin properties and because of the better I) ending effect secuzred in many cases. Hydrogenation renders the material less susceptible-to atmospheric influences. Cottonseed oil having an acid titre of 59 or 60 is a desirable the catalyzer used for hardening the oil w be substantially or entirely removed. from the hydrogenated oil before adding the talc or other finely-divided filling material. The, roperty of many highly hydrogenated oi s to melt rather sharply without a protracted stage of viscosity and the non-- necessity of heating'to relatively high temperatures to secure a suitable degree of liquidity or mobility is often advantageous.

By the term non catalytic as used herein is meant material not normall exertinlg catalytic -pro erties like the ely divi ed nickel or pal adium metal or bodies used in the usual practice of hydrogenation of oils. The term inert is used to signi such a type of mineral or organic materi Obviousillyi hydrogenated fatty employed with the hydrogenated oil to produce a form of the resent composition of matter, as will be su stantially without action on the oil, for example as would be the case with-talc and the like.

To recapitulate, my invention comprises a composition of matter adapted for a wide variety of uses and capable of numerous modifications which comprises a fatty oil preferably a semi-drying oil hydrogenated or hardened preferably so as to have an iodin number of below 50 and in most cases preferably'not materially over 25 so as to be preferably largely or substantially free from siccative bodies, incorporated with preferably at least a substantial proportion of a comminuted non fatty (preferably non-gritty) solid material with which the hydrogenated oil is preferably intimately incorporated, as for example by being melted or solidified in contact therewith; said hydrogenated oil being of course, sufficiently freed from the catalytic material employed in its production.

What I claim is:

1. A composition of matter comprising oil which is solid at normal temperature, in intimate admixture with an inert, non-gritty, non-fatty, noncaltalytic solid material, insoluble in said 01 1 1 2. A composition of matter comprising hydrogenated cottonseed oil of high melting point solidified stantially unctuous feel.

3. A composition of matter comprising hydrogenated fatty oil, substantially free ofcatalyzer, solidified in contact with nonfatty solid material of a substantially flourlike texture.

4. A composition of matter comprising a non fatty, non l catalytic, non abrasive in contact with an impal pable nonfatty solid material of a subhydrogenated cottonseed oil of high melting 1,27e,uos

solid material and hydrogenated oil, solid at normal temperature. and substantially free of hydrogenating-catalyzer, solidified into contact therewith.

5. A composition of matter comprisin catalytically-hydrogenated fatty oil whic is solid at normal temperature and is at least substantiall freed of the catalytic body used to by rogenate said oil, admixed with an influential proportion of finely-divided inert non-fatty mineral extending material, substantially devoid of catalytic properties, and of abrasive properties.

6. A composition of matter comprising hydrogenated fatty material having an i number not materially reater-than 33, iiitimately mixed with powdered non-fatty, non gritty, pulverulent material comprising talc. 7 A composition of matter comprising a mixture of at least two hydrogenated fatty oils having a fatty acid titre of at least 59,- in intimate admixture with an impalpable non-fatty solid material.

8. A composition of matter comprising fatty oil material hydrogenated up to a fatty acid titre of not materially below 59, such hydrogenated oil having an iodin number not over about 25, and being a brittle odin solid at ordinary room temperature, incorporated with not materially less than 40% of its weight of a comminuted soft nonfatty solid material, such composition bein stable and not substantially affected by climatic changes.

9. A composition of matter comprising CARLETON ELLIS.
